Sir Keir Starmer in Albania to tackle 'revolving door' of migration

  • Sir Keir Starmer visited the Albanian port of Durres on Thursday, 16 May 2025, to announce expanded measures against migrant smuggling.
  • His government plans to speed up returns by using 'return hubs' in cooperating Balkan countries to process failed asylum seekers from Britain.
  • The UK will expand a joint migration taskforce in the Western Balkans, invest in anti-forgery technology, and target criminal networks facilitating illegal migration.
  • Between July 2024 and March 2025, authorities sent back 24,000 migrants, marking the highest total for any nine-month span since 2017, while this year has seen 12,700 individuals arrive via small boats—a 33% increase compared to the previous year.
  • These efforts aim to reduce illegal migration, though Starmer admitted the removals hub is ‘‘not a silver bullet’’ and must be part of broader actions.
